Subject: [RBW] Re: Abomination? Riv Road "upgrades"
...speaking of getting fancy wheels on the cheap, I had been watching some HED
tubulars really cheap on eBay and finally pulled the trigger. They are now
installed on my Legolas, so we can start our Rivendells with tubulars thread.

Whatever gets you riding it. Carbon rims are "invisible" if they have a decent
braking surface, as those appear to have. I think it's fun. Grant poked fun
at the 20-spoke front wheel on my new Roadeo. Those wheels are definitely ugly
but ugly gets you a good price sometimes. Lean into it and you can make ugly
work for you. You've got a very very good shade of green to counterbalance the
wheels.

I'll give lots more background on the backstory and handwringing that led to
this if you want, but long story short: I scored a mismatched (different eras,
different materials, different depths) set of Zipp wheels extremely cheaply
recently and decided to turn my Bosco'd 650b conversion Riv Road back into a
road bike set up for road riding. Pairing the wheels with some on-sale Vittoria
Corsa G2.0 in 32 width made the bike smoother than with 650b x 42 GravelKings
and loads faster. Is it an abomination? Heresy? Who knows? Who cares? It's fun,
lighter and I'm enjoying the set up for now (though I may need a larger
chainring now...)
Enjoy (or not):
